Hey all,

this is not related to the discussion about the recently improved
processing speed, although it may sound related:
I'd like to have an idea how many people have already or are regularly
dealing with "big" scores, and maybe I'd like to know what might be
the biggest score anyone has successfully created with LilyPond.

What's your definition of a "big" score?

Well, actually that depends on the results of the survey, I guess ...

Basically I'd be interested in an estimate if there are practical limitations where one would be better off skipping a commission because LilyPond would be at its limit.

I just finished the LilyPond version of my "The Etiquette of Ice", which is 3 movements, 17-18 minutes performance time, 6 musicians (including a soprano, so it involved text), and 47 pages of score. This is the longest page-count project I've completed.
